Taste Of Laos - 15 Days / 14 Nights

Southeast Asia is famous for many things, not least the array of different culinary experiences that are on offer. Tourists are already familiar with cuisines like Thai, Chinese and Malaysian, which are readily available across the globe, but the region has so much more to offer.
Lesser known to many is the cuisine of Laos. Gentler, subtler and certainly less spicy than that of its southern neighbour, Thailand, Lao cuisine is in no way less tasty. A Taste of Laos' takes you on a journey across the country, tasting the finest food on offer, experiencing the heart of the nation's culture and learning how to prepare Lao food for yourself.
Starting in the tranquil northern riverside town of Luang Nam Tha you will have a dinner specially prepared in authentic Northern Laos style using only local produce before going on a tour of the scenic forest and villages in the area en route to the Nam Keo Hoi waterfall.
Immerse yourself even further in the local culture over the following days with treks through villages, engaging with locals as they go about their daily agricultural duties. Explore the native wildlife and lend a helping hand with communities as they prepare food, gaining hands on experience of Lao food preparation.
You will also get the chance to venture out on bike journeys along the Nam Ou River's banks interacting with the locals on excursions to harvest regional produce, to swim in hot springs and to visit caves only accessible by boat.
Spend a day traveling to Luang Prabang along the river, passing by the incredible mountain and jungle scenery with stops of course to enjoy some of the country's finest food.
Laos' spiritual capital, Luang Prabang is the perfect place to take a cooking class before going on a tour of the country's most stunning regions. The mysterious Plain of Jars, the mountains of Xiang Khouang and giant Buddhas of Muang Khoun are all breathtaking to behold.
Finish your trip in the modern-day capital Vientiane for a farewell dinner in one of Laos' finest restaurants.
